or the like,

the radiator is accessible, and-which is capable of adjustmentto br ngevery part of upon.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is-a front view of the improved stand;

Fig. 2 is an end view Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, thesupporting stand being omitted;

-Fig..4 is aside view showing another embodiment of the invention, withparts in section;

Fig. 5 is an end view;

Fig. 6 is a vertical section through the lower engaging arm;

Fig. 7 is atop plan view of the upper bearing, with the screw insection.

In the embodiment'of the invention shown stantially rectangular or loopshaped frame 1, having-at the center of each of its ends an outwardlyextending journal pin 2 and the center of each of its sides bearings 3and .4, respectively.

A shank 5 is adjustably mounted in the in Figs. 1 to 3, the standcomprises a"subwhich is adapted to'engage one face of the position inthe bearing by means of a handled set screw 8. A screw 9 is threadedthrough the bearing-3, and this screw hasa head-10 similar to the head 6for engaging the upper face 0E the radiator. The screwhas a wheel 11a supper end, and a'lock nut 12. is engaged bearing 3, the said lock nuthaving oppositely extending pins '13 for manipulating the same.

for grasping and holding a radiator in such position-that every part of15' yoke, consisting of to the head 6 of Fig. 1. radiator 7 and theshank is held in adjusted v of Fig. 1 is threaded through the bearing21,

withthe screw above'the '25, and it will convenience in be supported inanythe present instance the 1 Patented Sept. 28,1920.

ournal pins are journaled in sectional bearings l4 and 15 in the ends ofa supporting base to be described. This base has ends 16 whlch aresubstantially 1 frames, the bearings 14 and 15 being at the aplces ofthe said frames, and the base angles of the frame are connected bylongitudlnally extending members 17. A handled set screw 18 is threadedthrough the upper section of the bearing 15, into engagement with theadjacent journal pin, to hold the frame 1 in adjusted position.

In use, with the radiator in place, it will be evident that practicallyevery part of theradlator is accessible when the parts are aras shown 1nFig. 11n fact, every part except that which is directly between theheads 6 and 10. To bring any portion of the radiator into moreconvenient posit1on the frame 1 may be rotated as a whole on the ournalpins 2, to place the radiator wrth its plane in vertical position or inany 1::. ng%e between the horizontal and the ver- 10a shank 5 theradiator may be moved toward the top or the bottom of the frame 1 and by"loosening the head 10 the radiator may be moved about on the head 6.linFigs. a to 7 inclusive, there is shown another arrangement morespecially adapted ,for use with not requiring an ordinary work bench andan articular form ofsupport or stand.

a body 19 and arms 20 from the body, is proextending laterally each armhaving a bearing 21 and 22,

vided,

By means of the screw 9 and the ith this construction arespectively, atthe endremote from the yoke body. ,Through the is slidable, being heldin adjusted position a head 25 at its upper end A screw 25 correspondingto the screw 9 and this is a split bearing, as shown, the

bearmg being capable of being clamped on the screw or released therefromby means. of a handled screw 26 which en ages radial constructionmay-also be used in. ig. 1 if desired. I v I.

A mandrel extends fromthef center of bearing 22 a shank'23 I bya handledscrew 24, and the shank carries corresponding referring to Figs. 4 and'5, that the said head 27 is connected to the body 19 of the yoke, andthis mandrel is adapted to engage a sleeve 29 which is provided with.depending threaded pins 30 adapted to pass through openings in a tabletop 31. The mandrel has an annular groove 32 intermediate its ends andthis groove is engaged by a handled screw 33 which is threaded throughthe sleeve into engagement with the mandrel. By loosening the screw theplane of the yoke may be inclined into any position between thehorizontal and the vertical, and in either construction the radiator maybe reversed merely by reversing the supporting frame, namely, the frame1 of Fig. 1, and the frame or yoke 19-20 of Fig. 4.

The head 6 is limited in its downward movement toward the bearing 4: inthe construction of Fig. 1 by a sleeve 3 which encircles the shankbetween the bearing and the head, and the head 25 is limited in itsdownward movement toward the arm 20 by a similar sleeve 38.

I claim: 7

1. A device of the character specified comprising a frame having meansfor engaging the upper and lower faces of a radiator, said means beingadjustable laterally with respect to the plane of the frame, and meansfor supporting said frame to rotate on a transverse axis parallel withtheeplane of the radiator when held by the engaging means, said engagingmeans comprising heads, each of the said heads being adjustable withrespect to the frame, and one of the heads having threaded engagementwith the frame.

2. A device of the character specified comprising a frame having meansfor engaging the upper and lower faces of a radiator, said means beingadjustable laterally with respect to the plane of the frame, and meansfor supporting said frame to rotate on a transverse axis parallel withthe plane of the radiator when held by the engaging means, saidadjusting means comprising heads for engaging opposite faces of theradiator, a shank supporting 'one of the heads and a screw supportingthe other, the frame having bearings through which the shank and screware passed, the screw having threaded engagement with the bearings, andmeans for rigidly securing the screw and the shank with respect to thebearings.

3. A device of the character specified comprising a substantiallyrectangular frame having means connected with opposite sides thereof forengaging a radiator between them, and having journal pins at its endsrotatably supporting the frame.

4. A device of the character specified comprising a substantiallyrectangular frame aving means connected with opposite sides thereof forengaging a radiator between them and having journal pins at its ends,and a stand on which the journal pins are journaled.
